We propose to take over most of Kickham Plaza to create a large open space for children’s arts activities and performances. This is aimed at younger children and their families (up to 13) for the earlier part of the day, with a later strand for teenagers (13+) after 4pm with an emphasis on participation and encounters based on equality, fun, doing together and having an enjoyable experience.

 We have selected five complementary arts activities as well as a selection of performance styles ranging from marching bands to trad and hip hop, songwriting, orchestral music and rock bands to cater for many tastes and interests. This will offer a broad view of the many performers active in South Tipperary and afford a unique opportunity for celebration and parity between all artforms and performance styles.
